Introductory Notice to the Early Liturgies.
[4149] [Which must here be given.]
The Divine Liturgy of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Mark, The Disciple of the Holy Peter.
[4150] [The only authority for this valuable relic is a single codex of the twelfth century, i.e., the Codex Rossanensis, found at Rossano, in Calabria. It was deposited in the Basilian monastery at Rome, and first published a.d. 1583, at Paris. See Hammond, pp. xlv., li.]
[4153] [i e., μυστικω̑ς = arcane.—Hederic.]
[4154] [This implies that the Eucharist was not (originally) celebrated every day, as a rule. See Justin Martyr, vol. i. note 1, p. 186.]
[4155] Rather “for the emperor,” says Renaudot; and the word βασιλεύς will stand this meaning.
[4156] The (κύριε ἐλέησον) Kyrie Eleëson.]
[4157] [According to 1 Tim. ii. 2.]
[4158] [Suits the first years of Diocletian.]
[4159] The Patriarch of Alexandria is meant. The word πάπας was used at first to designate all bishops; but its application gradually became more restricted, and so here the Patriarch of Alexandria is called πάπας, as being superior to the bishops of his patriarchate. [See vol. v. p. 154, and vol. vi., Introd.]
[4160] [See vol. iii. p. 689, this series.]
[4161] This is the Little Entrance. [The priest and deacon come from the prothesis bearing the Gospels. See p. 538, supra.]
[4162] [Bestowing what is meet.] The text here is defective. Some suppose that a sentence has been lost.
[4163] Given in full in chap. vi. of the Liturgy of James, p. 538, supra. [It is so worded that it must be dated later than the Council of Ephesus, a.d. 431.]
[4164] [The Trisagion is found in all the liturgies, which proves a common source and original.]
[4165] πρόσχωμεν.
[4166] [The Apostle means that the Epistle is read, and there is a prayer said (μυστικω̑ς), followed by the outburst of Hallelujah.]
[4167] See note 1, p. 538. [“Sir, bless us” (in ordinary renderings) is a Western form.]
[4168] [Here, the deacon’s words having been correctly given, the blessing of the priests shows the force of his expression.]
[4169] [I have frequently noted the Ante-Nicene ignorance of this rite among Christians, in order to illustrate these later usages as without apostolic warrant. See Irenaus, note 9, p. 484.]
